Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…

Provides effective mobile security for small companies yet needs a clearer user interface and better support
We provide services to small companies with ten to fifty clients. It is important for us, as we operate as an IT company and system integrator, to deploy solutions like Sophos Mobile for mobile security and device management The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"Sophos Mobile is efficient in threat detection."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"In terms of valuable features, we liked the lock feature, the roll-out white feature, and the find feature. I think that Sophos had a GPS locator, so you could figure out where the phone was from a GPS location."
"The security features work well."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
 

Cons

"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"We have experienced issues in updating iOS devices when we set a minimum version requirement policy, and we do not have the option to force automatic installation. This means that the device must be supervised in order for updates to be applied, which we would like to see improved."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"They continue to work on integration with mobile device management and mobile security. They are improving the protection but I think that the capabilities still need to be enhanced."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
Information not available
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
